The action of 9 February 1799 was a minor naval engagement of the French Revolutionary Wars between a British Royal Navy frigate and a French privateer frigate fought 100 nautical miles (190 km) west of the southeastern coast of what is now Natal in South Africa. The 32-gun French frigate Prudente had since the start of the war been part of a squadron operating from Île de France (now Mauritius). This squadron had dispersed during 1798, with the ships sent on independent commerce raiding operations across the British trade routes in the Indian Ocean. Prudente had subsequently been seized in the autumn of that year by Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès, Comte de Malartic, the Governor of Île de France, and sold to a private raiding company.

  • The action of 9 February 1799 was a minor naval engagement of the French Revolutionary Wars between a British Royal Navy frigate and a French privateer frigate fought 100 nautical miles (190 km) west of the southeastern coast of what is now Natal in South Africa. The 32-gun French frigate Prudente had since the start of the war been part of a squadron operating from Île de France (now Mauritius). This squadron had dispersed during 1798, with the ships sent on independent commerce raiding operations across the British trade routes in the Indian Ocean. Prudente had subsequently been seized in the autumn of that year by Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès, Comte de Malartic, the Governor of Île de France, and sold to a private raiding company. In early 1799 Prudente was operating off South Africa, attacking British trade passing to or from the Cape Colony when the ship was discovered by British frigate HMS Daedalus under Captain Henry Lidgbird Ball. Prudente turned away and Ball gave chase, following the French ship closely. After five hours Daedalus caught Prudente and fired a raking broadside into the stern, disabling the French ship. For another hour the action continued at close range until Prudente was forced to surrender. (en)
  • L’Azione del 9 febbraio 1799 fu un combattimento navale minore nell'ambito delle Guerre rivoluzionarie francesi tra una fregata britannica della Royal Navy ed una nave piratesca francese, svoltosi a circa 120 km in direzione ovest-sudovest della regione del Natal, in Sudafrica. La fregata francese Prudente (32 cannoni) sin dall'inizio della guerra operò con uno squadrone proveniente dall'Île de France (oggi Mauritius). Questo squadrone venne disperso nel corso del 1798, con le navi impegnate in operazioni indipendenti per minacciare le rotte commerciali inglesi nell'Oceano Indiano. La Prudente era stata catturata nell'autunno di quell'anno da , governatore dell'Île de France, e venduta ad una compagnia di corsari. All'inizio del 1799 la Prudente operava nell'Africa meridionale attaccando le navi commerciali inglesi che oltrepassavano la Colonia del Capo quando la nave venne intercettata dalla fregata inglese HMS Daedalus al comando del capitano . La Prudente si rivolse all'indietro e Ball le diede la caccia a breve dstanza. Dopo cinque ore la Daedalus catturò la Prudente non prima di averle tirato una bordata che la rese inabile a proseguire l'inseguimento. Per un'altra ora continuarono degli scontri ravvicinati sino a quando la Prudente non venne costretta ad arrendersi. (it)
